Let's say that Bloomberg declares his candidacy and even goes on the ticket as an Independent. It appears that Frank MacKay is really only looking for him to establish the Independence Party as an "official" third party in America. So maybe in some future election, an Independent Party candidate may be taken seriously. I don't think anyone, including Frank MacKay, thinks Bloomberg's candidacy would mean that he will win the election, but it probably does mean that he will sway the election away from one or the other Party's candidate if he can command even a small percentage of the popular vote.
My concern is which Party's candidate will suffer the most from an Independent candidacy? Could this be a Democrat synchronized plot to foil a Republican win? Or vice-versa? I'd be interested in other opions.
